Cord blood banking is an innovative concept that has been gaining traction in recent years. A cord blood bank is a facility to store stem cells, which can be further used to regenerate several types of cells and tissues, including healthy blood cells. Several research studies are being conducted across the globe for the use of cord blood as a potential treatment for medical conditions that, as of now, have no cure. The prominent sources for stem cell banking comprise collecting and storing umbilical cord blood (UCB) and peripheral blood and bone marrow. As of now, these are considered as the most efficient sources of hematopoietic stem cells.

According to a new research study by Transparency Market Research, in 2012, the global cord blood banking services market was worth US$12.4 bn and is anticipated to be worth US$15.2 bn by the end of 2019. The market is projected to showcase a healthy 5.60% CAGR between 2013 and 2019.
Cord blood can be stored in two ways: donating in public cord blood banks or private cord blood banks. In a public cord blood bank, cord blood can be donated and the unit is stored and is made available publicly for a suitable match; on the other hand, private cord blood banks charge parents of the baby to collect and store the cord blood, which is only used for the baby and its close family members. In these cases, the storage and maintenance charges of the cord blood unit are collected from the patient or family members for whom it is going to be used. As of now, the number of private banks across the globe is more than that of public banks; nevertheless, the number of cord blood units stored in public banks is more than that stored in private banks.
